To Find:

The value of the number is?

Solution:

The given problem can be solved using simple algebra.

1. The value of 4/5th of a number is 8.

2. Let the value of the original number be x,

=> (4x)/5 = 8, (Solve for value of x)

=> 4x = 5*8,

=> 4x = 40,

=> x = 40/4,

=> x = (4*10)/4,

=> x = 10.

3. The value of the number is 10.

Therefore, the value of the number is 10.
